Valentine's Day can be a real downer for single folks. On this day, happy couples seem to pop out of every corner, and you can't seem to avoid them. They subtly remind you of your lack of a significant other, making this day not very enjoyable. But hey, boo thang or not, you can still enjoy the heck out of those 24 hours! Here are some ways to rock Valentine's Day when you're a single pringle.

Do something nice for someone else

Though on this holiday you usually show your appreciation for a boyfriend or girlfriend, there are many other people in your life that need to know how much you love them. Take this day to buy them a present, write them a card, or even just call them and express your gratitude for their presence in your life. Trust me, they kindness you show will go miles!

Buy yourself something nice

Because c'mon, you deserve it! Remind yourself how great you are by rewarding yourself with maybe some flowers, a fancy drink, a new outfit, or a meal from your favorite restaurant!

Spend quality time with your friends

Taking the time to hang out with your friends is never a bad idea. Heck, if you're all single, might as well make a day out of it and enjoy each other's company. Use this day to do something new with your friends, like taking a yoga class or going rock climbing! But if you'd rather just hang out, split a pizza, and watch TV, then that's okay too.

Watch a movie

I don't know about you, but watching a movie always makes me feel better. If you don't like what Netflix or Hulu has to offer, why not go out to the movies? There's bound to be something you'll like.

Take advantage of those post-valentines day sales

I'm telling you, once the day is done all that candy will be marked down at least 50% if not more. So stock up while you can!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
